The Ford Barn

I am starting to disassembly of the 1952 Crestline. I removed the engine and found the clutch equalize bar assembly loose and needs to be rebuilt. Which vendors are go to for the many parts I am going to find needing replacement. Also is there a source for better drawings. This drawing is from a 52-54 shop manual. It calls out Ford p/n but some are so small i cant tell what it is such as washes. Are they wavy, thick? Can part numbers be looked up somewhere? This is the start of the journey and need some guidance of the right direction for parts. Many parts are not listed by Ford p/n.Thanks in advance.

The part numbers you show in the Service Manual are just the basic part number,
you need a parts book to get the prefix that will identify the specific part for your car.

I don't think I've ever bought anything from Mac's, but you can learn a lot going through their website:

I tried to link it, but it went to Corvette parts. All the websites, if you have time; Mac Van Pelt's is almost information overload. C and G has a pretty good site. Lots of info, if you got time.
